The 18 awesome projects of Garage48 Hardware & Arts!

It was almost midnight yesterday by the time all 18 teams were formed. This meant a long night and little sleep for most, as the teams began work on their projects. Despite arriving blearyeyed all reported big leaps forward at the first progress this morning. Well we never said it would be easy!

Should any of the teams run in to difficulties or require a little extra help during the weekend. We are privileged to have 16 incredible mentors with a vast array of knowledge in different areas on hand. Including 2 members of the Raspberry Pi team who flew over specially for this event. If you want to know more about the mentors, check out our webpage.

Enough about the mentors, you want to know about the teams!!! Well here you go...

1. Drone Station (24/7 Drone Control) Smart charging station for drones. Enable your drone to self-charge and make it fly endlessly.

2. Skin [X] (Social IT thing) Our team aims to build new approach to tactile sensation to our body. Initially (!) it comes from our experience in work with disabled people - existing solutions are out-of-date and the social impact is to strengthen their stimulus to explore their surroundings. On the other hand our strong vision is that this may become as friendly solution for people to build their body and self awareness - to re-connect their body and improve relationships in the family. And this is just a beginning of Skin [X]Team members: Edit Emese Vizer, Anna Frida Guidice, Ada Chan, Brigita Silberg, Tim Pechersky, Kris Veinberg, Paulius Juska, Vita Brakovska

4. Do you even lift? The idea is about building a device, which would track the workout (Weights, repetitions, sets, calories, time and acceleration) and send the data to a web-site and app. It is neccesary for people, who work out, so they can track their results and see how they can improve them.Team members: Maksim Zubkov, Aare Puussaar, Toomas Välja, Brett Astrid Vomma, Taavi Taros, Tõnis Bramanis, Karl Tõnissoo, Sven Kautlenbach
